You can't imagine a benefit that a conscious creature might have over an "unconscious" one?
Okay, 1%, one step...etc etc etc, all well and good, humor me and point to an organism that you feel qualifies as the first (or more aptly, earliest known) conscious organism?
(and again, survival of the fittest doesn't direct anything, a whole hell of alot of evolutionary biology would instantly make more sense to you if you could put the notion of "direction" out of your mind, it was a big -oh shit, that's what they mean- moment for me, anyway)
